@gunrunnerjohn posted:I have had more failures and problems with PS/3 boards per capita than with the 3V PS/2 boards. Also a simple flaw on a PS/3 board frequently is non-repairable. I refer to the lighting circuits for instance. If you pinch a wire and kill the a lighting output on the PS/2 board, you can frequently replace the driver FET, for the PS/3 board it's usually fatal to the lighting circuit. The list goes on...
With the demise of any meaningful support from MTH, if you "brick" a PS/3 board, you're likely out of luck. Several years back, I ran into a situation where a bad sound file was actually bricking the PS/3 steam tender board. The only way to recover them was to send them back to MTH, I'm not sure where I'd send them now.

There are two major rungs in the PS/2 board family tree, the 5V board used a 9V rechargeable battery, the 3V board used a 2.4V battery stack. The 3V or 5V refers to the type of logic and it's operating voltage used on the board.
Here is an M.T.H. location to contact about the boards.
